As I said, I don't use these tools any more. Perhaps they are better
now. However, please consider the following:

- If you want to add a button to every page (all 100) on the site, is it
easy to do?
- If you want to integrate your existing page with a CMS in the future,
is this going to be a simple task?
- If you want to integrate complex scripts with the page, how hard will
it be?

By avoiding tools like this altogether and learning to create and
completely understand the actual markup, I can drastically simplify
improvements in the future. Even for a 10 page site, the extra time to
do the job properly is much smaller than the time saved in maintenance.
I prefer to think in the long term, not short term.
